Welcome to The German Shepherd Dog Breed Council

The German Shepherd Dog Breed Council began life in 1986 and is made up of G.S.D Clubs from all over the British Isles. Representatives from the member clubs meet regularly to discuss all aspects of the breed with the objective being the advancement of the German Shepherd Dog. This forum for discussion enables the clubs to speak with a united voice. A copy of the Constitution is available by following the links.

The Kennel Club rules prevent an individual person from becoming a member in their own right, and anyone wishing to join the council would do so by becoming part of a member club. Find your nearest Member Club by clicking on the button at left.
